What is an ear stack?

An ear stack is a curated group of earrings worn across several piercings in one ear, also known as earring stacks or stacker earrings. Instead of one standout piece, a stack layers lobe studs, cartilage flatbacks and small rings so each piercing adds to the overall look. A stack can be minimal with two or three pieces, or built up over time as you add new piercings. Our piercing specialists can help you plan where each piece goes.

Which piercings can I use for an earring stack?

The helix, forward helix, lobes and daith are the most popular placements for an earring stack, and this collection features jewellery for each of them. Lobes take studs at 18G or 20G, while helix and daith piercings are fitted at 16G. You can also extend a stack with a conch piercing for a fuller look. Our piercing specialists can talk you through which placements suit your ear.

What size jewellery do I need for an ear stack?

Sizing follows each placement, so a stack mixes several gauges and lengths. Lobe studs are fitted at 18G or 20G, helix and forward helix pieces at 16G in 6mm or 8mm once healed, and daith rings at 16G in an 8mm to 10mm diameter. A longer post is usually fitted for a fresh piercing to allow room for swelling, then downsized once healing progresses. Your piercing specialist will confirm the size for each placement before you add a new piece.

Should I choose Titanium or Gold for my earring stack?

Both work well in a stack, and many people mix them. Titanium is lightweight and nickel-free, which makes titanium earring stacks a comfortable choice for new piercings and sensitive skin, and it's generally more affordable. 14K Solid Gold gives a warmer finish and is worth considering if you prefer the look of real gold. Your piercing specialist can help you decide based on your skin, your tone preference and your budget.

How do I build a balanced ear stack?

Start with one standout piece to anchor your stack, then add smaller pieces around it. Mixing flatbacks with different decorative tops lets you vary shape and sparkle without crowding the ear. Keep the piercings you're still healing simple, and save statement pieces for healed placements. Our ear curation guide has ideas for building a stack that suits you.
